Electron-electron effects in the writing and erasing of dual-dielectric charge-storage cells

We have found an abrupt drop in the capture efficiency of dopant-induced interfacial states in DDC’s when the stored-charge density exceeds 7×1012/cm2. The constancy of this number with electric field strength and with increasing capture efficiency from increased induced-state density suggests Coulo...

Zusammenfassung:We have found an abrupt drop in the capture efficiency of dopant-induced interfacial states in DDC’s when the stored-charge density exceeds 7×1012/cm2. The constancy of this number with electric field strength and with increasing capture efficiency from increased induced-state density suggests Coulombic repulsion ultimately limits writing efficiency. Erasing characteristics are also explained by barrier lowering due to electron-electron repulsion.
